Mini Conference: Genesis and Scientific Evidence
In this Mini Conference on Genesis and Scientific Evidence, Dr Jonathan Sarfati brings two seminars on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until 12 noon.
- The Genesis Flood: Biblical Realism and Scientific Models
- Jurassic Reality: Dinosaurs and Most Asked Questions
There will be an extended time for Q&A after the second seminar.
The Mini-Conference is followed by a Chess Challenge with Dr. Sarfati, a chess master and former New Zealand chess champion, challenging up to 30 chess players at the same time at 1:00 PM. Register online here.
The first seminar at 9:00 AM is on The Genesis Flood: Biblical Realism and Scientific Models
The Flood during Noah’s day is vital to understand the history of our planet. This talk explains why in detail, and answers many common questions. For example: Does the Bible teach a global or local Flood? How does science fit in? What models are right, and what should be rejected? What are the main evidences in the rocks and fossils that the globe was totally covered? Why did lifespans drop sharply after the Flood?
The second seminar at 10:30 AM is on Jurassic Reality: Dinosaurs and Most Asked QuestionPeople of all ages are captivated by dinosaurs. Unfortunately, evolutionists use dinosaurs to indoctrinate the young and the old with an earth history that includes millions of years but has no room for the Bible. This presentation will show the power of a person’s starting assumptions (or “worldview”) when interpreting past events, and will define the different types of sciences used in investigating the world around us, with a thorough exploration of these enigmatic lizards. Let’s take dinosaurs to the Bible and see what God’s word has to say about them!
Speaker: Dr Jonathan Sarfati, chief scientist at CMI, is a dual citizen of Australia and New Zealand. He earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from a secular NZ university. Dr Sarfati co-authored papers in mainstream scientific journals including one on high-temperature superconductors published in Nature when he was 22.
Jonathan was a co-founder of an Apologetics Society in New Zealand, then joined Creation Ministries International (CMI) in Australia in 1996. In 2010, he and his American wife transferred from the Australian office to the USA office near Atlanta.
Dr Sarfati has authored some of the most popular and powerful books on the issues of origins, strongly defending biblical (‘young earth’) creation and refuting the strongest arguments for evolution and millions of years. His first book, Refuting Evolution, has sold half a million copies, making it the best-selling creationist book of all time (apart from the Bible!). His latest and most important book is The Genesis Account, a thorough 800-page theological and scientific commentary on Genesis 1–11.
Jonathan is also a chess master and former New Zealand chess champion, and drew a tournament game with former world champion Boris Spassky. One specialty is playing simultaneous chess games, sometimes ‘blindfold’, i.e. from memory.
